Project Outline:
As part of the DMPK&M Biomarker team, we strive to remain abreast with, evaluate and implement contemporary biomarker detection technologies for high quality and impactful biomarker project support across different drug modalities. With emerging new high-plex multi-omics platforms that are being increasingly utilized for biomarker discovery in clinical and translational studies, our goal is to investigate simultaneous mRNA and protein biomarker profiling using the high plex multi-omics platform. Our aim is to gain an enhanced understanding of the intricate interaction between, for example, a therapeutic drug or disease and the immune system. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling can help provide correlation for clinical outcome prediction during drug development by identifying crucial biomarkers of efficacy, response, toxicity and mechanisms of drug resistance/action. Hence, this internship program will provide a learning opportunity to help determine relevant biomarker signatures and establish an integrative data analysis pipeline using applicable bioinformatic tools for comparative proteogenomic analyses.
This is an on-site lab-based position where intern will participate in, but not limited to, sample processing, reagent preparation, reaction setup, instrumentation learning, data analysis and presenting findings at the internal team and departmental meetings.
How you will contribute:

• Exceptional interpersonal, verbal communication and writing skills.
• Deadline-driven with an elevated level of organizational and planning skills.
• Strong quantitative, analytical, problem solving and conceptual skills.
• Proven record of accomplishment of teamwork, adaptability, innovation, initiative, and integrity.
• Global mindset to grow in a diverse work environment.
• A candidate with molecular biology, cellular biology, biochemistry or related biomedical science background who is a graduate (Master's or PhD) student.
• Hands-on experience in DNA and RNA-based assays such as qPCR, ddPCR, RT-ddPCR and NGS with exposure to transcriptome data analysis will be highly desirable.
• Understanding of protein-based assays such as ELISA and MSD is desirable but not necessary.

Requirements / Qualifications:
• Currently authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship. Takeda does not provide sponsorship for internship positions.
• Available to work full-time (40 hours per week), within the core business hours of 8:00am - 5:00pm, for 10-12 weeks during the summer months.
